edix software was developed by a team of nine students over the course
of three months at UBC for a course in software engineering. This software was
developed with Apache Server, using php and javascript as the scripting languages,
with a MySQL database. All of the software is available on the open source network
(including all the code) at http://edix.sourceforge.net/edix/impbeta/
.

The edix software is a web base environmental monitoring data recording system.
Target customers of this system include engineering consulting firms, small
single site industrial operations, and large multi-site organizations. It is
the multi-site capabilities of edix that make this product unique from others
like it.

On the input side of the data entry, the system also allows for large data
file imports from laboratories.

The system also has the ability to track compliance levels for any parameter,
under two different regulation regimes. This allows the user to add the government
regulations for sampled parameters for the entire site, but also have company
defined internal regulations that are specific to each sample point. This means
that if the government has one level of regulations, your company can set internal
regulations to be more stringent, to show due dilligence and an intent to maintain
a sustainable environment. On doing a data display of all monitoring data records,
data out of internal compliance is highlighted in blue, and data out of governmental
compliance limits is shown in red.

Multi
site capabiliy allows a consulting firm to manage many clients, or a large corporation
to manage multiple sites within its organization.
